Date your ResMed p10 straps with a Sharpie.

Easy to track which ones are starting to lose their elasticity.

very good!

you just seem to be full of good advice today.

(not saying you usually don't have good advice. just seems more abundant today.)
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

On many days, the best possible thing I can offer is silence.

A good idea is always worth repeating. Much appreciated.

Put four adhesive rubber bumper pads under your device so it won't slide around under on slipper wood finishes. Mine has move an iota since applying them.

Great idea! My son’s doctor recently switched him to a Dreamwear, he loves the mask but the headgear slipping has been a huge problem. Can’t wait for him to try your fix out tonight!

I'd be interested to see if anyone has home brewed a Bleep style mask. With just some tubing and 3M tape you could save $2 a day. The hard part would be getting the venting right I imagine.
I use a duct tape mask and wear it 24/7. As a bonus, people tend to cross the street to avoid me.

You all inspired me. I haven't crocheted in probably 15-20 years but I decided I wanted a pink hose cover. Lol

Very nice.

Metsfan302 sells them:

But there's room on the boards for more than one cosy-vendor.

I like the pink hose cover. When I first learned my wife was getting a machine, I ordered pink strap pads and pink hose cover for her. We now have a pink hose running up over the headboard on one side of the bed and a blue one on the other.

Oh that was just for me. I am not selling them. I am barely adequate at crocheting. I just wanted something soft over that hose. I may try one for my long hose. :)

Thanks. I am a big fan of pink. I was a redhead and couldn't wear pink for many years. Now that I have gone silver I am enjoying my chance to finally wear pink. Lol.
